Uh-oh......it's the Drug War Terrorizer again (Dane)!!!

But anyhow, the judge seems to have an actual care for constitutional principles: give most of our nation's drug laws back to the states....let them decide how severely to punish drug users/growers/suppliers w/in their own borders.

I dare you, Dane, to prove to us where the Constitution gives the federal government the authority to run roughshod over the states re: their own drug/abortion/labor/gun laws. BRING IT ON!

Those who believe the Feds should have authority to overrule the States' power to set policies on drugs, labor and abortion are of the Algore living, breathing Constitution school of the thought.

Guns are a separate issue, however. Because of the Second Amendment the Feds do have a proper constitutional role to prevent States from infringing on the RKBA.
